    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    The kit actually comes with adhesive and really good instructions. They go right over the raised letters. Forewarning, be careful what tire shine product you use. I did the Meguiars NXT and all my tires faded horribly in the summer. Don't know it it was the tire shine or the sun. But they got...

    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    I think it was the angle of the photo, plus the old tires were down to the wear indicators. The old ones we 315/70r17 KO2s. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    They are tire stickers from tirestickers.com. They are supposedly good enough to withstand whatever is thrown at them. The contact adhesive was very aggressive so I don't think hey will tear off easily without taking some tire with it, but I have no idea if the color is going to rub off or fade...

    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    I'll be honest, I have been so far out of the loop on the Raptor community. I think this upgrade experience may have sucked me back in lol. Now I am running all over the forum. It may be time to spread the wings again and look for a group out here.

    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    This was the most extensive work in terms of modification I have done to the truck other than cutting a couple of holes in the back bumper for light pods. It was terrifying. Especially when things started going wrong lol. Working on other people's vehicles is easy because I don't pay for the...

    GEN 1 My Trials and Tribulations for 37s

    Some of you might have caught this in my Facebook post, but if not, I hope you enjoy everything I have to say, and I am especially excited to see the sarcasm and brutality that drops in the comments. Please enjoy my journey to 37s. To start, I read a lot. I did not want to become the next...

    Highest Payment :)

    3k down for the trade-in of my '99 ranger. Ended up financing 56k for 72 months @ 3.75%. I'm paying $849/mo for it. I am just glad that I am not the only person in the world that is driving a house payment too!

    What do guys and gals on the FRF look like?

    Frederick and I. Best dog ever. I may have the best job ever! Finally, one with the wife.

    Who's still waiting for their '14? Post up so we can see who is still waiting

    I just landed in Texas from Afghanistan! The wife is waiting for me with my new 2014 blue flame SCREW to get to the parade field so I can drive it home! Finally the 9 month wait is over! UPDATE: It's awesome. It has just a little more balls than the ranger I had before I left and the John...

    Military New Cars Sales Conundrum

    I agree with MobileBeats. Right now everything is hear-say. There may have completely different options once they release a new truck.

    What's in your bed?

    I got the color matching line-x and had them add the raptor logo with the original line-x.

    Best Raptor Compliments

    I get asked all the time how I can afford this truck (being junior enlisted in the Army doesn't exactly pay for much of a lavish lifestyle). My only response is, "I cant, Thank god my wife can though!" At which point people oddly start asking if they can trade me spouses lol. Also, as a...

    Who's still waiting for their '14? Post up so we can see who is still waiting

    I am only kind of waiting. Wifey and I ordered it in august last year and she picked it up in February. The only problem is that I deployed in August. Now that my deployment is coming to an end, I will finally be able to drive it. I will be back in less than 10 days and I can't wait to even sit...

    Personalize Plates

    As far as I know, most people in the military wouldn't care at all about that. I hear someone yell 'merica for no reason almost daily. So at a minimum the Army Aviation community would probably go as far as commending your awesomeness.

    New From Afghanistan!

    I have noticed that you must figure out what is relevant and what's not (though I do find some replies to be very funny and perfectly timed). I have learned more from this forum than anywhere else though. So far every question I have thought to myself has found an answer. As far as doing...

    New From Afghanistan!

    Yes! And here I thought I might be the only enlisted crew chief swine around here. I almost got another crew dog out here to get one, unfortunately he decided to "think" about it.

    What did you give up for your Raptor?

    Traded in my '99 Ranger XLT. Just a small upgrade.

    How much dealing can you do on a 2014?

    My dealer in Texas wanted 5k over msrp. It took 2weeks of going back and forth to get down to msrp. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    New To The Forum, Second Go At A Raptor

    Congrats on the second go around. Wifey picked mine up in February, so I'm looking forward to coming home to give it a drive too! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    memorial day raffle

    I am not sure if any anyone heard about the black hawk that went down in southern Afghanistan this past December, the 17th to be exact, but that was an aircraft that was from a previous unit of mine. Since people move around frequently in the military there are a lot of new faces there...

    I am not sure that this needs an explanation. I was just going for a little humor.

    New From Afghanistan!

    Good point. I guess I will have to do a fair bit of bribing and hope it's enough.

    New From Afghanistan!

    I am stoked about getting to drive in it for the first time. I may just stay out all day in search of some trails! For now wifey gets to have all the fun.

    New From Afghanistan!

    Hello everyone! I have been stalking this forum for a couple years now. Of course I was never a part of it since owning a Raptor was only a dream for me. Being enlisted in the Army isn't the most glorious pay. 4 years after seeing a black one sitting in my dad's bay at the dealership, and...
